quickly, for we have but moment to
stop"
Thereupon President, Miss Cleveland and
the Postmaster General alighted the crowd
cheered and the artillery began its pound
ing. The railroad people started the train
ahead to run it around 'Y" and upon the
other lines. The engines were changed and
the general managers car, the second in
stance since leaving Washington, was sand
wlched between the engine and Vestlbule
train with the general manager aboard.
LEAVING THE PRESIDENT.
The train came upon the side of the sta
tion opposite that on which the travellers
had alighted, and pulling slowly past,
started on its way to Nashville. AS 1t
gathered headway, General Agent Baldwin,
of the Pullman Company, hastily clambered
over the dynamo and trunks in the baggage
room of the vestibule train and burst in
upon the occupants of the alien car with
the query: Where are you going"
Going TO Nashville, replied the manager
of the railroad:
Going without the PresidentH y asked Mr..
Baldwin.
"Why he's already" said the railroad
man, Il saw him as the train started
mo, he's not answered Mr.. Baldwin.
'You have left him behind"
The rope was pulled, and the train came to
a SUOp dIOuD ullle lEOlu bllo SbdtlOu. ho
signal was given for backing up, but the
grade was heavy and the locomotive light,
and as often as the air brakes released their
hold the train forged ahead. After delay
of five or ten mnnteS the engineer pulled to
the foot of the grade and a little distance
beyond, where he succeeded in getting back
ward motion enough to carry the train back
to the station.
The President came aboard laughing, but
remarked, with a good deal of emphasis,
that he would not consent to leave the train
except at places indicated in the programme
of arrangements. They were very good
fellows there" he said, "but the crowding
was something tremendous" Mrs. Cleve-
land graciously pretended to have enjoyed
the experience, but there was an
expression upon her face which
indicated that she was heartily
glad to find herself i'll her own cozy parlor.
Aside from this incident the afternoon ride
was uneventful. At Brownsville, Milan
and several other of the larger towns great
crowds were collected to see the passing
train, and the usual demonstrations were
made. During the evening bontires, illum-
mating Roman candles and artillery salutes
were seen and heard at many places along
the line. At lis o'clock the train
reached Belle Meade, six miles from
Nashville, where ex-COngreSsman, now
Judge jackson, ana DIS DrOJnef, Ten. w g.
H. jackson, entered the Presidents car, and
welcomed the party. The President, Mrs.
Cleveland and Col Lamont entered the car
Iiage of Gen jackson, to become his guests
until Monday morning. while Postmaster
General and Mrs Villas, DR.. Bryant and
Mr.. Bissell accompanied the ex-senator.
The other members of the party proceeded
with the train to Nashville, and were quar-
| tered at the Maxwell House as the guests of
the Nashville American
John H. Inman, of New York, the we'll
known Southern fnancier, by invitation,
| joins the Presidential party here. He will
dine with them at Belle Meade tomorrow
and remain with them until they arrive at
Atlanta.
